Java 17

Things to look for when using or upgrading to java 17.

• There were a few garbage collectors that were implemented and made stable in java 15. Simply upgrading to java 17 should give you a better GC and thus more efficient programs but manually selecting either the ZGC or Shenandoah GC may give even better results. There was also a “No-Op Garbage Collector” that was add but it was experimental. It effectively disabled the GC allowing better control of memory operations.
